Will Transgrancanaria HG 2021 be held?
Yes, the edition is moving forward. We are very optimistic and determined to celebrate the event as scheduled. During the weekend of January 29th, the Government of the Canary Islands will update the alert level of the different islands. As of today (Tuesday, January 26th), Gran Canaria is in Phase 3. The event can be held as soon as the alert level is reduced to Phase 2 in the following updates.
What happens if the alert level doesn’t decrease?
In case the alert level is not reduced during the weekend of January 29th for Gran Canaria, the organization will wait until the next weekly update of the Government of the Canary Islands (February 5th). If the alert level remains at 3, the organization will hold one more week. The sanitary forecasts are optimistic regarding Gran Canaria to get back to the Phase 2 really soon.
What is the deadline for a possible event postponement?
Monday, February 15th is the date where Transgrancanaria will decide if the race must be postponed to a new date it the alert level has not been still reduced to a Phase 2.
What happens with my race entry in case the race is postponed?
Should the race not be held during the scheduled weekend, the organization will maintain the race entry for the runner for the new date. Those runners who cannot assist to the new possible date will receive different options regarding their registration.
